UNSPSC 85501110: Insertion of infusion device into right internal carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right internal carotid artery, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 03HK03Z

UNSPSC 85501110 (Insertion of infusion device into right internal carotid artery, open approach) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a highly specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it do not align with that clinical framing. The Arizona, California, and Washington solicitations present health services procurement spanning occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, independent disability medical evaluations, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve infusion device insertion or the arterial procedures the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either tagging error by the issuing bodies or scope drift in how the code is being applied in practice. The sources do not clarify whether state and local procurement offices are routinely using this code for non-device medical services, or whether these particular opportunities were mislabeled.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), two counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), two cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and one county health system (Santa Clara). Among the identifiable activities, the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the most concrete medical-services procurement aligned to a consistent theme of regulatory compliance and disability determination. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no apparent concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. Given the code's nominal specificity and the absence of device-procurement or surgical-procedure solicitations in the recent record, this Commodity code does not present a clear procurement focus for business development purposes at this time.
